A huge reason the world has an abundant supply of rice everyday is thanks to a great man called Yuan Longping.
The whole nation mourns the passing away yesterday of Mr Yuan Longping, who is
hailed as the "Father of Hybrid Rice".
Mr Yuan dedicated his life to the research and development of hybrid rice, which has exponentially increased the yield of rice globally. A staple dish in most of Asia including China, Philippines, and many parts of the world, Mr Yuan's hybrid rice has been grown extensively in over 40 countries, achieving a world record of 22.5 tons per hectar in two growing seasons.
During his lifetime, Mr Yuan visited the Philippines over 30 times, partnering with local farmers to produce the ideal type of tropical hybrid rice combination that not only produces high yield, but also solves the quality problem of the rice in the tropics and is accepted everywhere.
Mr Yuan will forever live in our hearts as the man who devoted his life to feeding the world. Thank you for all that you've done. Rest in peace.
